🎉🔥🐎🧧Today we shed the last of the year of the wood snake and welcome in the year of the Fire Horse!

A fire horse year is characterized by intense energy, passion, and the potential for significant forward movement. This year focuses on momentum, creativity, community, collaboration, and the ability to pivot quickly. Mindfulness will be key to act with discernment in order to avoid burnout.

So hold on to your ashwagandha and get ready for a wild ride!

🥱Ashwagandha, or Withania somnifera, is an Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb that has been safely used for centuries that can help with reducing stress and anxiety, improve sleep and mental clarity, support thyroid function, help reduce perimenopausal symptoms, and even help with hair growth. Adaptogenic herbs mean that it helps balance your HPA axis - how your body deals with stress.

😵‍💫As we all have experience, stress can cause all manner of issues with our health. Withanolides are the active ingredients in ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is used as a dried whole root powder or as a standardized extract, with higher levels of withanolides. In an 2021, a randomized placebo controlled study of 100 perimenopausal women, use of 300mg twice daily of ashwagandha extract supplement showed safe significant improvement in quality of life and control of climatic symptoms. In a 2022 RTC study of 60 college students, 700mg of ashwagandha extract daily for 30 days showed sustained energy, heightened mental clarity, and enhanced sleep quality.

👩‍⚕️Although generally safe, ashwagandha, along with many herbs, can have negative interactions with medications. Always check with your doctor before starting any new supplements and herbs.

😰There are a lot of reasons why people can’t fall asleep, but a major factor is stress. Acute and chronic stress disturbs your HPA axis and induces neuroinflammation, which can also dysregulate your neurotransmitters. The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is a neuroendocrine system that orchestrates the body’s response to stress (i.e. cortisol regulation) while also playing a crucial role in sleep regulation and circadian rhythmicity.

🤯There isn’t a magic bullet to help with sleep. Most often it takes a multifactor approach to restoring your sleep cycle. Several factors to consider include: dietary choices, blood sugar regulation, exercise/movement, hormone and neurotransmitter balance, and sleep hygiene/routine.

😴Sleep hygiene: implement a consistent bedtime routine and environment, including the 10-3-2-1 rule. No caffeine 10 hours before bed. Eat your last light protein meal (ex greek yogurt with berry and nuts) and herbal tea/water 3 hours before bedtime. Avoid anything mentally stimulating or stressful, 2 hours before bed- dim the lights, take a hot shower or bath, turning down your room temp. Avoid screen time 1 hour before bed- get cozy under your weighted blanket, put on your blue-light blocking glasses, and grab your fav no-brainer (paper) book and/or listen to your meditation program.

🥱💤 There are a lot of herbs, supplements, and medications out there to help with sleep. Common ones include: magnesium glycinate and threonate, ashwagandha, melatonin, GABA, phosphatidylserine, cortisol reducers, progesterone, and addictive drugs like ambien, trazodone, and a host of medications for anxiety. However, before you try one or all of these options, start with lifestyle changes before popping pills.

🌻This winter season, this warming dandelion tea recipe helps support digestive function and gentle detox. Pro tip: oversteeping can increase the bitterness of the brew.

🌱I love this “Best of Both” Blend to enjoy the medicinal properties of both the leaf and root.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon dried dandelion root
1 tablespoon fresh dandelion leaves - or 1 teaspoon dried
1.5 cups filtered water - 12 oz
Optional: 1 slice fresh ginger and/or orange peel

Instructions:
Heat Water: Bring filtered water to 200°F (just before boiling). Avoid full boiling to prevent excessive bitterness.

Steep: Place toasted root in teapot, pour hot water over herbs, cover immediately. Steep for 5-8 minutes.

Strain and Serve: Pour through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently on plant material. Add spices or honey if desired.

Let me know in the comments if you added this tea to your January detox regiment👇️

What are peptides? What are they used for? And are they safe?

Peptides are short chains of 2 to 50 amino acids held together by a peptide bond. Peptides are like “mini proteins” that binds to target receptors and act primarily as signaling molecules that deliver instructions to specific cells and tissues. These powerful molecules are administered commonly via subcutaneous injections for maximum absorption through the blood stream and to bypass breakdown in the digestive system, however there are some peptides formulated for oral use.

Despite the lack of clinical trials and long-term safety data, why are peptides in such demand? The bottom line is that peptides show clinical benefit, the mechanism of action of peptides are generally well known, and animal models show promise. There are many peptides being used for improved performance and recovery from sports injuries, longevity and mitochondrial repair, and for collagen boost for skin and hair loss.
